French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / technical parts of insurance policy
French term or phrase: permis de feu
This is in connection with the 'opérations de travail par point chaud' and I'm not sure what we call this in English:

"Si après un incendie ou une explosion causé par des opérations de travail par point chuad, il est établi par les assureurs que l'assuré ou ses préposés n'ont pas fait signer l'autorisation écrite, type "Permis de Feu", l'assuré supportera une part des damages."
Pamela Hewitt
English translation:hot-work permit
Explanation:
Not in the glossary etc?

agree  Richard Benham: Definitely with the hyphen. Basic rule of punctuation.//Good example. A real-life example from KudoZ: wine containing cocktail (whatever cocktail is) for wine-containing cocktail.
